My experience shopping at Jewelry stores is a recent thing in my life. Up until six months ago I really didn't have a reason to go to them. I met my fiancee last year and will be married in May of 2011. We went to a few different (high end) Jewelry stores in the area and experienced allot of confusion. Our lives are already stressful enough with planning a wedding and making sure everything is correct so, shopping for a beautiful ring should be exciting, fun and enjoyable correct? I will tell you first hand that was not the case for us. We went to a Local Jewelry store here in Raleigh looking for a once in a lifetime diamond ring. After going through the ""drill"" and showing us numerous rings out of the price range I had already given them we and bringing out ""one of a kind"" diamond rings we were standing in the store confused and feeling sick to our stomach. I felt like telling them that if this is a one of a kind diamond then perhaps you shouldn't sell it? So, after worrying overnight about it and talking about our bad experience they told me we should go to CMI Jewelry Showroom in Raleigh. They are hassle free and will help you and your bride to be comfortable without any pressure. After about a week or so we decided to try CMI Jewelry and my friend was so right. We walked in the store and discovered a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. We were greeted right away and discussed what we were shopping for. I gave them my price range, they showed me different options and more important they explained and educated me on diamonds. I was very interesting kinda like being in your favorite class back in school. There was never any mention from the store on putting deposit down today or any kind of pressure at all. We got a few ideas and left the store feeling wonderful and excited! Since then we have purchased four rings and diamond earring studs. As far as we are concerned will will keep coming back to CMI Jewelry and never go any where else!
